Hope you like accessories because today I've got a bucket o' goodness to give away with two prizes for our giveaway winner.

First let me tell you about Designing Diva which answers the question: "What do you get when you take a clinical scientist out of the lab and give her some glass beads to play with?" This shop sells beaded jewelry made with things like lovely and swirling dichroic glass, freshwater pearls, sterling silver and semi-precious gemstones.

They're just beautiful and some are a little wild--like little pieces of a snow storm or a hurricane captured under glass--and the silver band ring with three silver pebbles is not only beautiful but has a fun story behind it (see if you can find it).

Designing Diva has offered the lovely pink fused glass pendant and matching earrings set you see pictured here to this week's giveaway winner and just look at the cute little packaging the gift comes in--wrapped in it's own little purse and heart-shaped tin. In addition, here's a special treat just for you: Designing Diva is offering a free gift (value of $25) with any purchase just by mentioning "Scribbit" in the notes at checkout during the next week--what a deal!

The next store you've got to see is Julie Smith Accessories which makes the loveliest handmade belts and headbands. Bright colors, large florals and graphic designs--they're just the thing to perk up an outfit and get you ready for spring (it's nearly here you know).

Julie makes belts for adults and children (I just love the little Chloe belt) and headbands for everyone. It wasn't until I was really snooping around in the shop though that I discovered her Rumba earrings which are probably my favorite thing, I've never seen a pair like them before and would love to have them decorating my ears. Julie Smith Accessories is offering the headband pictured above (which happens to go perfectly with the pendant and earring set you notice? Yes, I'm Queen of Color Coordination) as the second part of this week's lovely prize set.

So have some fun browsing Julie Smith Accessories and Designing Diva and see if you can't find a few fabulous ways to spend your money--then don't forget to enter the drawing, I can guarantee winning these would be a perfect way to head into spring.
